On March 5, 2015, 379 corporations and business groups submitted an amicus brief in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges, urging the U.S. Supreme Court to declare marriage rights for same-sex persons. Such a ruling would be contrary to constitutional, civil, natural and divine law and conflicts directly with Catholic teaching and the position of the U.S. Catholic bishops.
The Cardinal Newman Society therefore urges Catholic schools, colleges and universities to refrain from all honorsincluding public recognition, honorary speaking platforms, and honored positions on boards and committeesfor board members and senior leaders of these 379 corporations and business groups (listed below).
The Cardinal Newman Society promotes and defends faithful Catholic education. For more than two decades, the Newman Society has raised concerns about lecturers, commencement speakers and other honorees at Catholic colleges and universities whose public statements and actions oppose Catholic moral teaching and practice. We will publicly warn Catholic families and their bishops and pastors about any school, college or university that chooses to honor any board member or senior leader of the 379 corporations and business groups that joined in the March 5th brief. Any such honor does harm to the Catholic Church and undermines our bishops, who have clearly explained why Catholics must defend marriage without compromise.

The moral and spiritual decay of our nation and culture fills me with complete dismay and sorrow. Lord Jesus come quickly.
Don’t be sad, it’s bible prophecy. I listened to a sermon this morning on this very subject. Everything that is happening today is predicted in the bible. It will be like in the days of Lot. Just beware of people that teach false doctrine, that’s certainly happening now.
I am encouraged to see some fight and hope I see it 10,000 times more. Being for evil should not “pay” in this nation. It should be an UNpopular stand.
According to surveys, it is, but politicians and marketers and Hollywood keep pretending it’s not.
Just thought people would like to know.
Pretty hard to boycott every company on that list. Between Microsoft, Amazon, and Cisco ... sheesh.
Yes, I know things are going that way, but I still mourn for the country and how far it has fallen.
